With over a million species described, insects are a treasure trove of diversity and represent boundless possibilities as research tools for answering fundamental questions in biology. Current approaches for insect gene editing require microinjection of materials into early embryos, which is highly challenging in most species. Shirai et al. established and optimized a simple and efficient method for insect gene editing by adult injection, which can be readily implemented in any laboratory and directly applied to a great diversity of non-model insect species.
